Robert J. Miller is a professor at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon.
He graduated from Lewis & Clark in 1991 and then clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He has taught and practiced Indian law since 1993.
“The Academy's program was informative. It strengthened my leadership skills - - something that is so vital to fire departments. The training helped equip me with the tools to build clearer lines of communication and coordination with Tribal, local, state and federal emergency management agencies.”
- Chris Walters, Former Disaster Services Coordinator, San Manuel Fire Department, Highland, California
"The Academy’s training comes from a truly Native American perspective. It honed my interpersonal and communication skills and also gave me a better understanding of new marketing techniques that attract customers, influence public opinion and build support for tribal gaming, all while respecting tribal culture and traditions."
- Jill Philbrook
